Just over the Lebanon County border in Berks County, Stonecroft Village is more than just a place that those 55 and older can call home.
It’s a community that naturally complements an active lifestyle, whether it’s socializing with friends in the clubhouse, walking the trails that traverse 23 acres of open space or visiting some of the many nearby arts and cultural attractions.
A Landmark Homes 55-plus living community, Stonecroft Village sits in a peaceful valley in the town of Womelsdorf, surrounded by mountain views.
The centerpiece of the community is an inviting gazebo that overlooks a scenic pond with fountain. Other amenities include recreation areas, the walking trails and the clubhouse, which features a living room/lounge, billiard room, fitness room, multipurpose room and kitchen.
The clubhouse is the perfect hub for activity. In fact, Stonecroft Village residents have their own social committee that plans events like happy hours, game nights, bingo and outings.
One of the best ways to get a feel for a community is to meet the people who live there. Stonecroft Village is offering an opportunity to do just that when it hosts a Dine and Explore event from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10.
Visitors will have lunch and chat with residents in the model home, then tour the model and two other ready-now homes in the community. Several homeowners will also open their homes to the public.
When complete, Stonecroft Village will include a total of 214 detached one- and two-story homes. There are 14 floor plans available — 13 one-story options and one two-story option that includes a first-floor owner’s suite. Home sizes range from 1,380 to 2,178 square feet.
